The Letterbox Project

The Letterbox Project

Calling all Artists, Home Handymen, Engineers, Creative Souls, Builders, Gardeners and Craftspeople.

There is always a sense of expectation when you open your letterbox each day of hand written treats and presents. What is hiding in there? Have you got a letter from a loved one, a birthday card, a letter from Bonus Bonds saying you are the winner of the big prize????

Unfortunately what awaits you is more likely to be bills and piles of advertising pamphlets, Junk Mail.

You are invited to let your imagination go wild and create a letterbox that challenges the standard New Zealand letterbox. Use any material eg mosaic, concrete, ceramic, wood.etc

The letterboxes will all be for sale and displayed along the Sculpture Trail at Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens as part of the Exhibition 2011 due to open on Saturday 20th November 2010.

We are looking for Rural Delivery and suburban letterbox designs; just make sure it fits with NZ Post standards for size, ease of access for your postie etc

Prizes for the most original, most bizarre, most creative, most colourful and people’s choice letterboxes.

Please deliver your letterboxes between Wednesday 20th and Sunday 31st October to Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens at 1481 Kaipara Coast Highway.

Please email admin@plantsnz.co.nz  phone 09 420 5655 for an entry form with full details.
